Good to see that more votes keep coming in, even the anticipated vote for Mastodon! *grin* ;)

And I have to mix myself here in the discussion about whether or not Iron Maiden belongs in the Metal genre... short answer would be: They definitely do! But to elaborate a little more, since some are not persuaded yet, here's the official metal tree with Iron Maiden mentioned under 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal' (1979 - 1983)

More information about the whole Metal genre can be found in this Wikipedia article about the DVD documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey".
There...

Now on with the competition!!!

@ LamprimOF : I counted your vote this time, but your reasoning is too thin. Make sure you add an obligatory elaborated reasoning for the next vote you state, ok? =)

@ susilo : You voted for Metallica, but this band is not featured in the current battle, which is between Pantera and Mastodon, so please vote for one of these two contestants with a reasoning, thanx! ;)

The vote count shows an extended lead for Pantera! They sure took off without looking back... O.o

Point out a few that aren't, and then tell us what metal is. Or are you stating something without evidence?

I second nichodemus in this... we're always open for discussion here numino, but you have to present arguments to build your statement upon! =)

And if you come up with suggestions for bands to be part of next year's competition, be sure to let us know, we're always open for suggestions you know! ;)

Lol. First, Iron Maiden is not Power Metal. I cannot stress this enough. They sound nothing like Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, or Stratovarius. (All examples of real Power Metal.) Their vocalist sounds like an angry castrato with emphysema, their drumming is pretty much on an infinite loop, they have poor, generic riffs, their guitar solos are unmentionable, and the stereotypical invisible, mediocre bass. Their overall sound is... just weak. Light and slow. They're almost as overrated as Marilyn Manson. And, trust me, it's hard to get the gap that close

Sorry for this triple post but... DO NOT INSULT IRON MAIDENS GUITAR!!!! Dude you dont even play, i play guitar i know that they are good.

Please keep it clean AvengedSevenfold11!!! >:(

This way you're starting a fight in our thread and I won't tolerate this... discussion is fine, great even!, but this is simply hating someone for having a different opinion-however weird it may seem to you, ok? =)

Keep it clean people! Now back to voting please! =D

*Sigh* Ok, sure, they play what I suppose could be considered "American Power Metal" on occasion. (Which I believe is below the standards of Power Metal. I write this while listening to Dark Moor. ^^) And what could possibly makes you think that you need to play an instrument in order to know what is and isn't good? I tried an acoustic for a year, I sucked really hard, gave it up, never considered trying any guitar again, and now I'm here. I actually have a very broad, talented guitar base. I guess they just share similarities with a lot of the USA's music. I see nothing out of mediocrity with it.

(DayCee, do you see how he treats me? :C )
